Daylight fading out
Shower washes out the aches
Time to find the couch

Haiku – The Old Course
Sea gulls chattering
Golfer steps up to the tee
One swing, full of dreams

I have gotten hooked very quickly on golf. I watched it a bit off and on before this year, but for some reason I just can’t get enough of it now. I have watched as much as I can of The Open this weekend. The drama, the suspense, the weather, like a great movie with a great cast playing out minute by minute. The fourth round should be amazing on Monday.
So, do you watch or play golf? Knock some reasons into the comments section below.

Haiku – Newspaper
Inky soft pages
Filled full with the daily news
Read all about it

An ancient relic
Fading out into the past
One day at a time

Haiku – Secret
Man picks up his cell
Hoping the ring was not heard
Strange voice on the phone

Standing in the breeze
Her raincoat pulled closed and tight
Sleep haunting her eyes

As a sidebar, I have started a new blog with a couple of buddies of mine. It is a blog about trying to be a Christian and walking with our faith each day. Tough to do. Here’s the link: unitedbythree.wordpress.com

Shamefully he cried
His soul tempted by her lust
Too weak to resist

Aiming for the green
Piercing the competition
Like a sharp needle

Jordan Spieth just won The Masters by destroying everyone around him. I honestly don’t watch a lot of golf – never played the game myself – but sometimes I like to watch it. I got hooked this weekend, and I had to Haiku about it today. Did anyone reading this watch The Masters this weekend? I would love to hear your thoughts.

Haiku – Seasonal Humans
Youth is the springtime
Summer and fall we live – grow
Winter when we’re old

I was reading this bit of poetry this morning on Black and Write and it inspired me to write this Haiku. Thanks Dom for the inspiration.

Haiku – Fire of Desire
Secret lovers meet
A dark seedy motel room
Hot burning passion

2 shots in the night
Figure races from the scene
The motel room burns

Haiku – Snow Bound
Precipitation
Drapes the world in endless white
Fat flakes falling soft
+
Another Tuesday, another round of winter weather, this time snow instead of sleet and ice. They are saying we are due for another storm on Wednesday Night/Thursday Morning. Warm all winter in N. Carolina, and in 2 weeks possibly three winter storms, 2 down maybe 1 more to go. As I type this I can see snow falling from a storm that wasn’t predicted to hit like this. Supposed to be in the sixties next week. Crazy.

Haiku – The Quiet Dark
Sitting in the black
Somber tones of reflection
Night’s golden silence

Flying ever strong
In the gentle breeze you wave
Constant reminder

Rushing through darkness
Frantic with each step you climb
Sliver of light – hope
